FireMon, Netpoleon mark decade of collaborative cybersecurity excellence in India

Coinciding with the milestone, FireMon has appointed Ashish Bali as Regional Manager for India and SAARC to drive customer engagement and channel enablement, helping organizations adopt its unified platform for policy automation, risk reduction, and efficiency

FireMon, a global leader in network security policy management (NSPM), is celebrating a decade-long partnership with Netpoleon India, marking ten years of successful collaboration in delivering advanced cybersecurity solutions to enterprises across the country.

Since the inception of their alliance, FireMon and Netpoleon have supported Indian organizations in securing increasingly complex IT environments through real-time network visibility, automated policy enforcement, and continuous compliance across hybrid and cloud infrastructures. The partnership underscores FireMon’s long-term commitment to regional enablement, driven by trusted distribution and deep technical collaboration with local partners.

“India remains one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity markets, and our partnership with Netpoleon has been instrumental in helping enterprises navigate this dynamic threat landscape,” said Brian Keets, Chief Revenue Officer at FireMon. “As FireMon celebrates its own 25-year milestone globally, we’re equally proud to recognize the strength of our collaboration with Netpoleon and our shared mission of delivering intelligent, risk-reducing security outcomes.”

Coinciding with this milestone, FireMon has appointed Ashish Bali as Regional Manager for India and SAARC. In this new role, Ashish will lead efforts to scale customer engagement and channel enablement throughout the region, helping organizations leverage FireMon’s unified platform for policy automation, risk reduction, and operational efficiency.

“I’m honored to join FireMon during such a significant phase of growth,” said Bali. “As cyber threats evolve, Indian enterprises need smarter, more adaptive security policy tools. FireMon’s platform offers the intelligence and automation they need to maintain compliance and reduce risk — without compromising agility.”

This appointment aligns with FireMon’s broader investment across the Asia-Pacific region, under the leadership of Hari Bhullar, recently named SVP of International Sales APAC. With more than 25 years of experience in strategic sales and channel development, Bhullar’s regional expertise supports FireMon’s accelerated customer acquisition and partner expansion efforts.

In the wake of Skybox Security’s closure, FireMon has seen a surge in demand from global organizations — including those in India — seeking a stable, forward-looking security policy management platform. FireMon has rapidly onboarded former Skybox customers, ensuring minimal disruption while elevating their security posture through FireMon’s proven solutions.

With a presence in over 70 countries and a customer base exceeding 1,700 organizations, FireMon continues to lead the market in hybrid cloud security and security policy automation.
